By the sixth day of the Enarc Campaign, and the third day after the Republic 17th Army's supply lines had been cut, Major General Malcolm Granger's raider fleet made a wide detour and struck back at Enarc from behind the Republic fleet. At last, the 17th Army's main fleet could no longer hold on.
Strictly speaking, however, Granger's raider fleet had been the first to falter. Otherwise, he would not have given up harassing them and fled all the way back.
The 17th Army's reinforcements and reserve fleet remained formidable. Under Governor Lynch Howser's command, they first halted all transport fleet activity and cleared the hyperspace lanes of traffic. That way, no matter how the raider fleet stirred things up, their mere handful of warships could not create hyperspace disturbances.
As a result, Granger's raider fleet could only disrupt the hyperspace lanes by driving the transport ships and civilian vessels around Kalinda Planet. But no matter how important a transfer hub Kalinda was, the number of ships there was ultimately limited.
Once they could no longer sustain hyperspace disturbances, the 17th Army's follow-up fleet was finally able to enter Kalinda Planet and pursue the raider fleet.
Malcolm Granger could therefore only fight as he retreated, relying on the Calamity-class battlecruisers' Particle Beam Lances and the Hell-Angel Class Battlecruisers' thick armor and durability. Their own supplies, on the other hand, were not a concern. They had previously raided quite a few spaceports and acquired abundant resources.
The enraged 17th Army fleet split into several squadrons and moved to encircle Granger from all sides. Seeing that he could no longer remain at Kalinda Planet, he fled onward to Naboo.
Naboo's defenses were far stronger, with numerous orbital defense systems as well. After maneuvering there for a day, Malcolm Granger was forced to
